Preparing Development Cycle

[Maurice de la Ferte]

Hi all,

I'd like to introduce you to an concept of target (WeTab) deployment/development
cycle for an MeeGo and openSUSE dual boot system. In my point of view there
are following requirements:

- easy and fast Image deployment to the WeTab
- minimal manual setup
- persistent storage on target available
- the MeeGo part based on weekly snapshot releases with additional packages
- the openSUSE part based on 11.4 with additional packages
- testing and development based on reproducible Images

Vision in big picture:
I will setup/update (weekly) an clean MeeGo and openSUSE dual boot system on
the SSD of my 3G-WeTab. After that I will create with clonezilla tool backup
images and share them via an download portal. Also an customized clonezilla
live image and a step-by-step instruction will be shared on this portal. Via
two USB storage devices and instructions you should be able to restore the dual
boot system on your target.

As an proof of concept I got an dual boot system running. The next step is to
minimize the size of the partition layout to fit into an 16 GB SSD. After that
I plan to create and share a plain dual boot system recovery image (firstly
without plasma active).

To be clarified:
- Download portal to share data

Hopefully this concept goes in the right direction, if you are in doubt please
tell.

Cheers

Maurice
